I’m Emma — a mother of four and a Christian birth doula who believes birth is sacred, holy, and thoughtfully designed by our Creator. I trust that women’s bodies were created without flaw and are more than capable of birthing, and my role is to gently support and protect that design.

With quiet reassurance and intuitive support, I help mothers stay grounded, informed, and in control of their birth decisions while working collaboratively with their care team. Birth is holy work. I am deeply intentional about protecting the atmosphere of the room—creating a space where peace is prioritized, voices are respected, and mothers feel supported to labor and birth with confidence and calm.

I embarked on this beautiful journey in 2021 when I assisted a mama during her freebirth (the practice of women birthing their baby without medical or midwifery assistance.)

Hello! My name is Amanda Millsap. I’m a midwive’s assistant turned doula. I think my experience is a little bit unique in the fact that I attended around 60 home births before I ever helped parents out in a hospital setting.

For example, chiropractors, pelvic floor therapist, massage therapist and more. It is my goal to provide you with education surrounding parenthood, help you and your family navigate through unfamiliar territory, and hopefully help you feel confident in your decisions. I look forward to becoming a member of your team!
